I have a text-frontend for the upgrader that could be used by server people. We just would need something like the update-manager for the server to actually fetches/executes the upgrader. A simple shell script will be enough (wget/tar is all needed). The dist-upgrader can easily fallback to the text-frontend if gtk fails.
But we are late in the game... -- dapper -> edgy dist-upgrade holds back essential packages https://launchpad.net/bugs/63680 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
